This paper focuses on the target detection in low-grazing angle using a hybrid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems in compound-Gaussian clutter, where the multipath effects are very abundant. The performance of detection can be improved via utilizing the multipath echoes. First, the reflection coefficient considering the curved earth effect is derived. Then, the general signal model for MIMO radar is introduced in low-grazing angle; also, the generalized likelihood test (GLRT) and generalized likelihood ratio test-linear quadratic (GLRT-LQ) are derived with known covariance matrix. Via the numerical examples, it is shown that the derived GLRT-LQ detector outperforms the GLRT detector in low-grazing angle, and both performances can be enhanced markedly when the multipath effects are considered.

Multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) radar has been widespread concern in the domestic and foreign researchers. Bistatic radar draws on the great success of MIMO technology in the communications field, and it has many advantages over conventional radar. The direction angles estimations of bistatic MIMO radar are researched. To contrast traditional radar DOA estimates, the direction vector of the bistatic MIMO radar is the Knonecker plot of the emission vector and reception vector, that two-dimensional direction angles is estimated. To solve this problem, the principle of bistatic MIMO radar signal model is in-depthly researched.By proposing Capon dimensionality reduction method, the two-dimensional directions of the dual-based MIMO radar are estimated, and computer simulation is to verify the effectiveness of the method.

The problem of Cramér-Rao bound for parameter estimation in wideband bistatic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar system is considered. In many applications, it is not appropriate to approximate the wideband signal by the narrowband model. In this paper, we propose a new wideband signal model to accurately estimate parameter for wideband signals from a moving target. The Cramér-Rao bound for target parameter estimation is derived and computed in closed form which shows that the optimal performance is achieved. Target location and parameter estimation performances are evaluated and studied theoretically and via simulations.

The accurate detection of targets is a significant problem in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. Recent advances of Compressive Sensing offer a means of efficiently accomplishing this task. The sparsity constraints needed to apply the techniques of Compressive Sensing to problems in radar systems have led to discretizations of the target scene in various domains, such as azimuth, time delay, and Doppler. Building upon recent work, we investigate the feasibility of on-grid Compressive Sensing-based MIMO radar via a threefold azimuth-delay-Doppler discretization for target detection and parameter estimation. We utilize a colocated random sensor array and transmit distinct linear chirps to a small scene with few, slowly moving targets. Relying upon standard far-field and narrowband assumptions, we analyze the efficacy of various recovery algorithms in determining the parameters of the scene through numerical simulations, with particular focus on thel1-squared Nonnegative Regularization method.

The target detection of the passive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar that is comprised of multiple illuminators of opportunity and multiple receivers is investigated in this paper. In the passive MIMO radar, the transmitted signals of illuminators of opportunity are totally unknown, and the received signals are contaminated by the colored Gaussian noise with an unknown covariance matrix. The generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is explored for the passive MIMO radar when the channel coefficients are also unknown, and the closed-form GLRT is derived. Compared with the GLRT with unknown transmitted signals and channel coefficients but a known covariance matrix, the proposed method is applicable for a more practical case whenthe covariance matrix of colored noise is unknown, although it has higher computational complexity. Moreover, the proposed GLRT can achieve similar performance as the GLRT with the known covariance matrix when the number of training samples is large enough. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed GLRT is verified by several numerical examples.

Due to the multipath effect, the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation performance for low-angle targets decreases greatly. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a spatial differencing reconstruction based DOA estimation algorithm by using the received signal model of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. Combining with the spatial diversity of MIMO radar, the proposed method can first use the multipath echo power to select the best signal. Then, a spatial differencing based iterative scheme is developed to reduce the effect of additive noise, resulting in a better estimation performance for low-angle targets. Simulation results show that the proposed method has better advantages in suppressing noise and improving estimation accuracy.

A beampattern synthesis approach is proposed to design the power spectral density matrix (PSDM), which is chosen to achieve a given transmit beampattern in wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. The proposed approach focuses on transmit beampattern synthesis with constant beamwidth and sidelobe control. Moreover, the design problem is further converted to a convex optimization problem, which is solved efficiently via the modeling system CVX. In comparison to these recently developed wideband MIMO beampattern synthesis methods, the proposed approach maintains a constant beamwidth across the entire frequency band and provides a great improvement in sidelobe control. Numerical simulation results are obtained to validate the effectiveness of this approach.
